The quorum disk cannot be used by other software products, except as follows:
• Cache Partition can allocate the CLPR (virtually partitioned cache) to the quorum disk when
you map the quorum disk to the storage system.
• Performance Monitor can monitor usage or performance of the quorum disk.
The following topics clarify key information regarding the use of other software products.
